    1. Harmony Korine

      Rain, come down, and fall forever
      Drain, the dirt, into the wasteland
      Pray, for sound, to quiet the howling

      Feel, no shame, too brave
      Feel, afraid, to wait forever

      Kneel, to fade, the day’s corrosion
      Crawl, depart, towards perdition
      Gray, the part, the bruise within you

      Feel, no shame, too brave
      Feel, afraid, to wait forever

      Forever

      Feel, no shame, too brave
      Feel, afraid, to wait forever

    2. Abandoner


    The other half is somewhere else.
    A play in the dark,
    Whines like dogs.

    I am restless, I am lost.
    Time freezes all. Flawless eyes.

    Your rope you used to tie yourself,
    Dreams into planes, scatter remains.

    I reach for you, denied your touch.
    Snow starts to blind, I confide.

    3. Salvaging

    Robbers appoint
    At making you trust,
    You live in a lie,
    The pain in the dust.

    God always shouts
    And you always kick,
    Through passionless hours.
    Yeah you make me feel sick.

    Your secret is taught
    But the body rejected.

    Your smile's a question
    But the end is expected.

    A truce is obtained,
    Excuses are given.
    Time to assess,
    No one knows what you're dreamin'.

    It's hard to assess,
    Nobody know what you're dreamin'.
    It's time to assess,
    No one knows what you're dreamin'.

    4. Veneno Para Las Hadas

    When you’re young, you’re sleepin’
    With the love you’re feelin’
    Waking up to evenin’
    Check the pulse, you breathe in

    Nothing left, just ember
    Only we remember
    A bottle not for sharin’
    Poison for a fairy

    5. No Twilight Within The Courts Of The Sun

      Drain the lake
      Find the owner of the voice
      Zip in the bank
      And drop off across the noise
      Examine the hairline
      As archives in the strand
      You turn into something
      That puts the weakness in my hands

      I see, but I suppose
      I breathe, when I dispose
      Black wheels turn yellow in the sand
      I steal every idea that I can

    6. Significant Other

      Pulling back from
      The passives
      Feel so small now
      Stars shine bright above

      Don't know why
      Seen a better life for us all
      Can't but try
      Other needs apply

      Looking about
      Tragic love songs
      Find a ride on
      Birds will turn and fly

      Don't know why
      Passive through the day on a child
      Breathe a sigh
      Other needs apply

      Raining all day
      Trying to reach you
      Fell so helpless
      Can't stop counting time

      Don't know why
      Catch a possitif in my eye
      Rainstorm dies
      Other needs apply

    7. Only Child

      A raven holding to narrow wrist*
      Pull it tight
      Clothes are torn and the body twists
      A single light

      The worse the the struggle the more you fail
      Strands fall down
      The more you like it the more it hurts
      Why stop now?

      An only child
      A willing smile
      A killing trial

      A broken rib and a bloody lip
      All in hell
      The fire’s gone and your pride is stripped
      A private hell

      You never know why it is this way
      Leave here now
      Live through this on another day
      Tonight sleep sound

      An only child
      A winning smile
      A killing trial

    8. Twilight Coda

      (instrumental)

    9. Get All You Deserve

      Open the car door slow
      Don't think you'll ever know my name

      Get all that you deserve, in this world

      Love more than you can know
      Have more than you'll ever need from me

      Get all that you deserve, in this world

      Get all that you deserve
      Get all that you deserve
      Get all that you deserve

    10. Insurgentes

      Holy Mother of the simple one,
      When you smile at me you bring me down,
      You betray your thoughts.
      All your prayers too low.

      Now out of debt, you speak in tongues,
      And out of bread, your work is done,
      [ Steven Wilson Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
      And your dream, absolve.
      And your path, dissolve.

      And your dream, absolve,
      And your path, dissolve.
